Pan Seared Steak & Creamy Mushroom Gravy

Pan Seared Steak & Creamy Mushroom Gravy is a simple dish of skillet butter seared beef scotch fillet steaks served with creamy mushroom gravy

A few days back there was a big sale for Scotch Fillets (Rib Eye) in several supermarkets near my place, I took that opportunity to stock up as the normal price for these ones are NZ$35.00 – 40.00 per kilogram, with the sale it was NZ$22.00 per kilogram. I think I grabbed at least 3 kilograms as I can freeze them and use them when needed. Now is the time to use some of them and with steaks the best way to cook them is simply grilling or pan searing them, what gives this piece of meat an extra ooomph is the sauce that accompanies them, so for today we will be serving it with one of my favourite gravies, the creamy mushroom gravy.

How about you how do you want your steaks to be prepared? What sauce do you prefer? Let me know from the comments below.
